AZ Alkmaar reached the UEFA Europa League round of 16 by overcoming Galatasaray with an impressive 4-1 win in the playoffs. The team sits just below a Champions League spot in the Eredivisie and is led by former Tottenham Academy star Troy Parrott. Under manager Maarten Martens, they've shown promise despite a past defeat to Spurs in the group stage.

Tottenham Hotspur faces European opponents Elfsborg in the Europa League with a significantly weakened lineup, compounded by an alarming injury list. Managing an array of player absences, Ange Postecoglou attempts to field a competitive squad. Drawn from necessity is the inclusion of returning Micky van de Ven and the positioning of Mikey Moore as a forward force. The encounter is set at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for January 30, 2025.
